The webinar is part of the webinar series: Understanding Agenda 2030 - Only one decade left. This series digs into the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals during the spring 2021. The Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals are reaching for a peaceful and prosperous future for both people and the planet. They call for urgent action and cooperation globally, between developed and developing countries to end poverty and hunger, ensure economic growth and tackle climate change. The Agenda 2030 was set in the UN Sustainable Development Summit 2015 and adopted by all the United Nations member countries.
The main focus of the project is the SDG and Agenda 2030, with the objective of raising the awareness of the citizens and also making the information more accessible to them. We believe that, in order to achieve these goals, the main challenge is to reach the people and to create an impact on the individual level, so they can implement the lessons learned at their day to day. We have observed that people (common citizens, students, etc.) perceive information related to SDG in an unclear and a confused way. That is why we want to offer an easy and an interactive program that outlines the framework of Agenda 2030.
In this second webinar we concentrate on the Sustainable Development Goal 1 “End poverty in all its forms everywhere”. We talk about what the actual situation is, what kind of impact has the Covid pandemic had on this goal and what are the next steps we should take in order to “not leave anyone behind”, eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, the concept of social inclusion, also referred to as social
integration or social cohesion, represents a vision for "a society for all" in which every individual, each with rights and responsibilities, has an active role to play and the reason why poverty can be both a cause and a result of human rights violations, meaning that not only a failure to fulfil human rights can cause poverty, but also that poverty itself can increase human rights violations.
